Chris Paul only scored 29 points and 12 assists in the previous game. Under the unstable situation of young players, he alone took up the responsibility of the Suns offensive. Today, the Suns once again faced the Mavericks in the away game. Chris Paul maintained a good form of 14 of 20 shots and scored 34 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. Among them, he scored 16 points in a single quarter in the second quarter. At the end of the quarter, Chris Paul assisted Devin Booker to hit a three-pointer, and the Suns finally beat the Lone Ranger 109-108.
Although the Lone Ranger led the game by six points 53-47 in the first half, the difference between the two teams has been unable to open up, and the game entered the final moment of the fourth quarter. In the final 1:40 of the game, Chris Paul dribbled the ball over and made a steady hit with a simple pick-and-roll screen to tie the score. In the last minute of the game, Devin Booker missed a fallback jumper, and Chris Paul also shot for a breakthrough layup. During the countdown, Chris Paul broke through with the ball to attract the defense and then sent back a pass, assisting Devin Booker to hit a three-pointer, leaving only 1.5 seconds for the Lone Ranger. With Luka Doncic missing a three-pointer, the Suns won by surprise.
